My team's alts are displaying properly now - missions, registry, character and team pages, etc. - but it looks like the alt modes page itself has now gone screwy.
I went to it - https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/altmodes.php - and every alt there (at least on the Autobot side) is now white regardless of previous color and some of them like the 806 Futuristic Fighter are displaying with the crossed-out G1 Prime image...
How's this?

That is much better, but they are recolors and not at defaults.
For example, the alt mode altmode_dino47.gif shows:

But the default is actually:

From a shiny standpoint, it should include more color ranges... I just love that color carousel on coming back to the page every time.
@SoL: If you set it to default on the character profile, the original alt color will still show. I tested it with 1 of my characters, so the default color is 100% safe.
Also @Seib, the Character Upgrade page where you pick your alt mode, all the alts are white as well.

I told Wingz it's like faded skittles. Hence more color range. =)

Realized what I did that screwed that up ... but since it's just an aesthetic thing, it's on my back burner for now.
In the meantime, I fixed some errors on the Player Rankings page that was preventing that page from displaying properly. For those of you who remember how the page worked, can you check it out to see if it's doing what it's supposed to be doing?

The 503 errors on the site were caused by some not-so-great code with HMW. Finally found it by accident today while working on the icon issues yesterday morning, which had gone under my radar because I didn't program HMW and basically had a hands-off policy with it (which appears to be to to the detriment of Seibertron.com and myself). The not-so-great code primarily dealt with the error logs, which were intended to handle just HMW errors, but it was re-routing actual errors from the rest of the site as well. Uncovering all of this lead me to resolving a slew of unrelated issues. Basically, long story short, found a massive bottleneck, nipped in the bud, and the server is finally breathing and functioning properly. Fingers crossed that all goes well throughout the night. I have several things to help me monitor it during that time while I'm catching some ZZZs.

Geez... when you think you should just leave things alone... you really shouldn't!
Yay for 503 resolved though!

If this is a known issue, my apologies. The alt mode color selector is not functional in the character edit page.
Here be a screenshot
I think it might just be me. Figured I post it though.

The alt is there, but zoomed in too much to see it to the side. I hold down ctrl and use the scroll wheel to zoom out and then you can see it.
If you mean the radio buttons are not clickable, I don't know.

I see what he's talking about... for some reason his color picker is grayed out. He can't select a color.
Maybe just a random hiccup.. does it still gray out, OP007? Which alt are you using?

Mine is the same way. The only way I can see my changes is when I hit the update button. Changing the size of screen doesn't do anything.

Preview doesn't work on mobile.. and can't color pick the furthest purples/pinks due to the selection ticks cutting off. At least it does on mine.

I just happen to go into the edit page on one of my characters and it appears to be working.

I'm getting this text at the top of my screen in Internet Explorer:
Also, some of the formatting seems a little off on HMW, and any custom coloured alt is not showing at all (default is fine).
Seems to be fine on Fireforx at the moment.
